What happens if you fail the initial 1-1-1?

I ship out in about 4 days. I keep hearing about the 1-1-1 what happens if you fail the running portion? I’ll be going to Fort Benning.

Last I knew you were sent thru a special program to get you up to snuff BEFORE you finally see your Basic Training Company. But that was years ago. So...it's either the same way now or you get sent to your Company and get PT'd to the point where you will have no problems passing the 1-1-1. Best Course of Action.....work your butt off in order to PASS the 1-1-1 before you get there.

You stay at reception until you can pass it, THEN you start basic.

Don't sweat it too much. If you are faor shape, you'll be up to snuff very quickly. Even are in poor physical shape, it doesn't take TOO long to get there.

I think you just make that much more amazing progress when you take your final APFT and pass. I ran mine with my recruiter and failed but dropped maybe 7 minutes to a cool 15 flat. But we didn't have anything to do at reception for this when I left in 2005. So I wouldn't worry, you'll kill it in a couple weeks. Buuuut I'm going to browse the comments a bit more to see how wrong I may be on this topic....

The 1-1-1 is only used to determine what ability group you are placed in during PRT in the morning...there is no failing the 1-1-1

The Fitness Training Unit in 30th AG is where you would end up for a few weeks until you can do the minimum push-ups, sit-ups and 1 mile run time to start BCT or OSUT.
They have their own facebook page:

PVT Private RallyPoint Member Officially? You'll go to the WTRP unit at 30th AG until you're physically fit enough to continue. Unofficially? You go straight downrange to your basic training unit as scheduled and go through OSUT like everyone else. If you get injured or can't pass your final APFT, then you might go to WTRP anyways, but most likely you'll just be recycled into the next OSUT class that starts. Say hi to Miss Moody at the 30th DFAC for me, miss that sweet lady.

Nothing much. Your 1-1-1 is basically a preliminary exam to determine your fitness standards prior to the physical training you'll receive. Your first PT test will be in roughly 2-3 weeks after you begin basic training.
